7. Fig Leaves Will Not Cover Sin—Adam and Eve both ate of the fruit, and obtained a knowledge which, had they obeyed God, they would never have had,—an experience in disobedience and disloyalty to God,—the knowledge that they were naked. The garment of innocence, a covering from God, which surrounded them, departed; and they supplied the place of this heavenly garment by sewing together fig-leaves for aprons.{1BC 1084.4}

7. Figenbladene vil ikke dække over synden. - Både Adam og Eva spiste af frugten, og fik en kundskab som de aldrig ville have haft som de havde adlydt Gud, kundskaben at de var nøgne. Uskyldighedens klædning, et dække fra Gud, som omgav dem, forsvandt; og de erstattede den himmelske klædning med at sy figenblade sammen som forklæde.
